It's usually the Solution Development Team that estimates.

I thought the Planning Specialist was involved in the estimation process too, but I can't remember how that fits with the other roles.

I feel like the Business Advisor might have some input, but I don't think they do the actual estimating. It’s probably more about guidance.

I remember a practice question where the Project Manager had a role in estimation, but I can't recall if they were the main one responsible.

I think the Solution Development Team is responsible for estimating, but I'm not entirely sure. It feels like they would have the best insight into the technical aspects.

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. DSDM emphasizes collaboration, so I'm guessing the estimating is done as a team effort. I'll weigh the options and see which one makes the most sense.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know DSDM is an agile framework, but I can't quite remember the specifics of who does the estimating. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward question about DSDM project roles. I'll need to recall what I know about the responsibilities of each role.

I'm confident I know the answer to this one. In DSDM, the Solution Development Team is responsible for estimating the work, since they're the ones actually doing the development. The other options don't seem to fit as well.

I'm feeling a little unsure about this one. There are a few different options, and I'm not sure which one is the most efficient solution. Maybe I should re-read the question and think it through step-by-step.

I see your point, Elliot. The Solution Development Team would have a better grasp of the technical aspects for accurate estimation.

Business Advisor? I guess they could estimate how much coffee the team will need to survive the project, but that's about it.

I'd go with the Solution Development Team on this one. They're the ones who know the nitty-gritty details and can provide the most accurate estimates.
